Creating Lookup Table Definitions
When you create a new lookup table, you specify the definition that the new table should use (which specifies information--such as name and default value--about each column that the new table will have). If you want to create a table that does not conform to any existing definition, you must create a new lookup table definition.
Follow these steps to create a new lookup table definition:
1 Right-click any node in the CMWB navigation pane, and select New > Lookup Table Definition.... The New Lookup Table Definition dialog appears.
2 Enter a name for the new definition in the dialog’s Name field.
3 Optionally, select an existing definition from the dialog’s Copy Definition From field. This allows you to edit a copy of an existing definition in order to create the new one.
4 Click OK. The new definition appears in the editing pane.
5 Modify the definition table as needed (see Viewing and Modifying Lookup Table Definitions).
6 Select Save from the File menu, or click
